WELCOME TO SWCS
SWCS Mission
The U.S. Army John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center and School, the U.S. Armys Special Operations
Center of Excellence, trains, educates, develops and manages world-class Civil Affairs, Psychological
Operations and Special Forces warriors and leaders in order to provide the Army special operations
regiments with professionally trained, highly educated, innovative and adaptive operators.
SWCS Vision
Psychological Operations
SWCS History
The U.S. Army John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center and School dates back to 1950, when the U.S. Army developed the Psychological Warfare Division of the Army General School, Fort Riley, Kan.
In April 1952, the PSYWAR training activities were transferred to Smoke Bomb Hill, Fort Bragg, N.C., as the PSYWAR Center, and in
1956 it was renamed the Special Warfare School. The school was given the responsibility to develop the doctrine, techniques, training and
education of Special Forces and Psychological Operations personnel.
In 1960, the schools responsibilities expanded to counterinsurgency operations grew again in 1962, when the Special Warfare
Center established an SF Training Group to train enlisted volunteers for operational assignments. The Advanced Training Committee
was formed to explore and develop sophisticated methods of infiltration and exfiltration. On May 16, 1969, the school was renamed
the John F. Kennedy Center for Military Assistance. The curriculum was expanded to provide training in high-altitude, low-opening
(HALO) parachuting and SCUBA operations. The institute comprised the SF School, Psychological Operations, Military Advisors
School and Institute Brigade.
On April 1, 1972, the U.S. Army Civil Affairs School was transferred from Fort Gordon, Ga., to Fort Bragg, operating under the centers
umbrella. In 1973, the center was assigned to the new U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command, or TRADOC.
On June 1, 1982, the Chief of Staff of the Army approved the separation of the center as an independent TRADOC activity under the
name U.S. Army John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center. The SWC integrated special operations into the Army systems, training and
operations, becoming the proponent school for Army special operations forces.
In 1985, SWC was recognized as the U.S. Army John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center and School. The major change at this time
was the establishment of six training departments: Special Forces; Special Operations Advanced Skills; Survival, Evasion, Resistance
and Escape; Foreign Area Officer; Civil Affairs and Psychological Operations. A few years later, the Noncommissioned Officer Academy was instituted. In 1989, SWCS was restructured following the establishment of a training-group and three training battalions with
one support battalion.
On June 20, 1990, SWCS was reassigned from TRADOC to the U.S. Army Special Operations Command. This designation gave USASOC control of all components of SOF, with the exception of forward-deployed units. Throughout the 1990s and into the 21st century, the
primary SWCS mission has been to fill the force with quality special-operations Soldiers. In 2011, following optimization, three additional
training battalions were added and on Dec. 2, 2011, SWCS was named the U.S. Armys Special Operations Center of Excellence.

Course Description: Phase 1 of the SFQC is the SF Orientation Course, a sex-week introduction to Special Forces, which establishes a foundational understanding of unconventional warfare to successfully participate in Robin Sage as guerrillas. Introduction
to Special Force and C2 architectures of the Command, Introduction to Unconventional Warfare, SF history, SF Attributes, Methods of Instruction, Nine Principal Tasks of SF, Land Navigation, Airborne Operations, Introduction to Human Dynamics (THOR
3, ATL and Regional Studies), the course falls under the auspices of the 4th Battalion, 1st Special Warfare Training Group (A) The
course is separated into five modules.
Course Description: Phase II of the Special Forces Qualification Course includes an in-depth study of and practicum related to
small-unit tactics and operations; and provides the tactical combat skills required to successfully operate on an SFOD-A. Students
will master the following tactical skills: basic and advanced combat rifle marksmanship, small-unit tactics, Special Forces common
tasks, urban-warfare operations, Special Forces mission analysis, Advanced Special Operations Level 1 techniques, sensitive-site
exploitation procedures, military decision making process, Tactical Operations Orders and SERE Level-C training.
31
Purpose: To train, evaluate and qualify students in Special Forces skills acquired in individual and MOS training necessary to
perform their duties on a Special Forces Detachment Alpha including mission planning, advanced special operations, interagency
operations, unconventional-warfare phases, organization and planning and UW culmination practicum.
Course Description: Soldiers must put all of the skills they have learned throughout the SFQC to successfully navigate the
unconventional-warfare environment during the Robin Sage CULEX. The Robin Sage CULEX has been the litmus test for Soldiers striving to earn the coveted Green Beret for more than 40 years. Students are organized into Special Forces Operational
Detachment-Alpha (SFODA). The SFODA is trained and mentored throughout the exercise from mission receipt through planning and infiltration by combat-proven Special Forces operators. Students are taught the necessary skills to survive and succeed in
a UW environment consisting of a notional country characterized by political instability and armed conflict that forces Soldiers to
exercise both individual and collective problem solving. A key to the success of the Robin Sage training is its real-world feel that
is established by the use of guerrilla forces. The SFODA must assess the combat effectiveness of the G-forces and then train them
in basic individual tasks from each of the MOSs as well as collective tasks in basic small-unit tactics, while remaining responsive
to asymmetrical challenges. During this training, the SFODA must demonstrate its knowledge of UW doctrine and operational
techniques. Participating in this rigorous and realistic training exercise provides the future Special Forces Soldier with the skills
and confidence needed to successfully deploy with an SFODA.
